(15,435 posts)Obama won FL... 50.9 to McCain's 48.4.
One thing I can guarantee this time around... that number won't be matched.
We've had some kind of wrench in registering, getting out the vote or general dirty tricks for a very long time this year! Registrations were down by a lot because of the 48 hour rule to register. A person could have been fined at least $1,000 for not returning registrations within 48 hours. A VERY hard thing to do, especially if you're canvassing door to door!
And they're still trying to stop people from voting. Wish I could say it looks good, but I can't. Obama has had a good ground game, but not for registering. Just door to door to see if you are voting or not. They ask, then say we hope you will consider voting for Democrats. Your choice to respond.
Rick Scott is JEBBY'S puppet & hasn't shown his face for a very long time. I think today he did something, but I think they've been hiding him because he's not very loved. But his favorables have gone up. How I don't know, but that's what the papers say.
